Thank you all so much!! 🙂

We're booked on the Jubilee in May and I was of the impression that transportation to/from the port was included from either our hotel or the airport. I just got off the phone with Carnival & they said that transportation is only to/from the airport and they will not provide transportation from/to a hotel.....Is that correct? 🤔

On Saturday I noticed that Cucina was showing as an option to book for our September cruise. Then when I went to book, it errored out on me. Since then, it's magically disappeared. Ji Ji is also in there but...Sold Out of course 😜 And we also have Chef's Table as an option, but I do not need to do that again. I just keep checking as often as I remember 🙂

We booked a casino offer on a GTY balcony about a month ago for a September cruise on Venezia. I was a little shocked that our cabin was assigned last night. Unfortunately, it was a cove balcony on deck 2 across from the elevators. We probably should have waited, but hubby saw the location and said "Upgrade to the suite" It was a gamble going with a guarantee, but we were willing to give it a shot.

We're with ya! Me (53) & Hubby (54)

Us too....We cruised on the Miracle in February and when the casino opened, I was given my $1000 Fun Play money in cash. We're cruising on the Miracle again in 2 weeks, so I'm hoping it'll be the same 🙂

In another thread someone mentioned that the perks for Journey's Elite cruises were different. Can anyone share the differences? Thanks in advance!!

I'll add that we're Valerie & Gary 🙂 Also, we could use some recommendations for a pre-cruise hotel. We've never been to NYC (aside from flying through JFK) We have the elite transportation to/from the port, but would love to hear peoples' favorite places if anyone cares to share 🙂

14 night Hawaii cruise out of Long Beach. DOU throughout the whole ship, $1000 in free play, $100 pp stateroom credit in an Ocean Suite. The total was $372.40 (taxes & port charges) We have the same deal for our Alaska cruise in June We also just booked an Elite offer of 15 nights on the Venezia in a free balcony with DOU throughout the whole ship, $500 free play with all the Elite perks for the cost of port charges & taxes. LOVE the casino offers 🙂

Just booked today with a fantastic casino offer & St. Lucia is on my bucket list It'll be me & hubby celebrating his birthday & our 33rd anniversary & coming from Arizona 🙂 Thank you John for all of the wonderful info you've shared & Good luck with the biopsy!

We always tip $100 in cash when they introduce themselves (on top of the pre-paid), They work way to hard to get the paltry pre-paid grats (if they even get all of them)

My PVP stinks, so I handle myself

We were on the 2/14 Miracle sailing and there was so much pot smoking on the balconies. I was honestly stunned, because while I have no problem with people partaking legally....On the ship was just really not good. As a side note, we also smelled cannabis vape pens in the casino & nothing was said to anyone in any area it was coming from.

Okay...I will share ours. We're cruising next month on a bounceback offer after our cruise last September. Hubby isn't a big drinker, so we didn't get cheers and that we pretty much gor all drinks free in the casino after the first night. However, since returning, I've had a ton of offers and the offers didn't apply to our February cruise. So, we removed me from the suite we were booked in and booked a separate balcony cabin in my name only that came with all the offers. Free drinks throughout the ship, onboard credit & free casino play) It worked our well and if hubby snores too loud, I can send him to the other cabin 🙂

I concur with Raise if you're not AARP. But don't buy the "used" cards. Buy them directly from Raise & get the 8% back

I've only taken 1 cruise on Carnival and get offers daily. We have 7 cruises booked and they still keep coming.

We've been on several NCL cruises & I can honestly say I didn't really enjoy any of them. We took our first Carnival cruise and I'm totally sold on them.

I've only taken one Carnival cruise & I just booked Feb 2025 on an Elite New Zealand cruise. Free Balcony, free play, Drinks on Us. I do have a Premier AUS offer, as well as 3 other casino offers. Granted, I did my homework before our first cruise & earned 36,000 points....But I just booked 3 cruises in free suites with free drinks throughout the ship & $1000 in free play. Updating to say that I did just get an email the other day saying that Elite cruises are opening up to me tomorrow. Need to figure out what they all come with 🤓

Thanks! On our cruise in September, our room was ready when we got on the ship at 11ish, but FTTF wasn't available then, so I just wanted to ask the experts to see if it even made sense. Thank you again!

So we fell in love with Carnival on our first cruise this past September on the Panorama and we now have 4 more cruises booked. We actually found that the best benefit of staying in a suite was priority embarkation and debarkation. Now that FTTF is back, is there any reason to get it when staying in a suite? Does anyone know the boarding order? Thanks in advance! 🙂

We were not impressed on the Panorama last September. I'm a butcher's daughter, so I always have very high expectations for steakhouses. The quality was mediocre at best and it just felt a little too stuffy. We're giving it another try on our cruise in February, but we found Cucina to be much better & quite a little gem!

I suppose it's not...but people shouldn't have to because it just doesn't matter. As pointless as it is....test ALL or test NONE.

We're checking in to Long Beach for the Panorama Saturday morning. I'll report as soon as we're settled.

I tested my caprese salad the other night & it was negative 😆
